COMBINED CURTAIN- POLE RING AND PIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 433,838, dated August 5, 1890. Application filed December 3, 1889. Serial No. 332,388. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LEOPOLD WEIDENFELD, of Broken Bow, in the county of Custer and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and Improved Combined Curtain-Pole Ring and Pin, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to that class of rings and pins that are used to suspend curtains, port-ieres, lambrequins, and other draperies from horizontal poles.

The invention will first be described, and th en specifically pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device as applied to apole, the pole being indicated by dotted lines; and Fig. 2 is an end view of the device.

The part A which encircles the pole is made of spring metal, and is in the form of a helix. It may be composed of any desired number of rings; but in practice I find five, as shown in the drawings, a convenient number. The two end portions a b of the spring or helix A project downwardly, the end a of the part a is turned up, so as to form a clasp, and the part b is bent and given one coil at the part b, so as to give sufficient spring to the end 11 which is formed into a pin which may be retained by the clasp a. In practice the helix A is placed upon a pole, and the pin 11 is passed through the fabric to be suspended, and the end is retained by the clasp a.

The helical portion A of the device is clasped by two flattened rings or bands cl, which prevents the same from spreading and allowing the pin 11 to be released from the clasp a; but one band will answer the purpose byplacing it immediately above the ends a b.

It will be observed that the form above described will give the device great strength,

and the pin 11 will be long enough to take firm hold of the suspended fabric, so that it will not be easily torn away.

The device may be made of any suitablebody being formed into a catch or clasp and a pin, respectively, the said pin extending longitudinally along the under side of the helix to the said catch or clasp, substantially as set forth.

2. The herein-described curtain-pole ring and pin, consisting in a tubular helical body A, adapted to slide on a pole and having integral longitudinally-align ed depending arms a b at the opposite ends of the body, the arm a being formed with an integral catch or clasp a at its lower end, and the arm b having an integral coil 1) at its lower end, and a longi-,

tudinally-extending pin b integral with said coil and adapted to engage said clasp or catch at its free end, substantially as set forth.

3. A curtain-pole ring and pincomprising a tubular body in the form of ahelix, the material of the helix at the opposite ends of the body being projected downwardly to form the longitudinally-aligned arms, a catch or clasp at the lower end of one arm and a pin at the lower end of the other arm adapted to engage with its free end the said catch or clasp, and a longitudinalclasp connecting the end coils to preventexpansion of the helix and disconnection of the pin and clasp or catch, substantially as set forth.
